How it feels to live in Darkness,
Where life has been, cruel,
Your anger burns and anxiety adds the fuel,
And you pray to heal.

Your head steals your worth,
Your self doubt makes you wipe dirt,
You sweat in the labyrinths of loneliness,
You perspire in, your depression’s holiness.

You gotta come out, embark of this journey,
You have to be proud, of your heartbreaks and shattered dreams,
Your loneliness and self doubt, will make you go insane,
You’ll live doubting yourself and world will be able to see, your pain.

This world doesn’t care about what your pain is,
While you go, in the nights growing in an insane monster,
The world laughs at your hardships, and jokes and shouts, like a fucking rooster,
You gotta get back on track,
Get out of rock bottom.
